dean park who gave a brief resume of professor zimmern's career as dean park expressed it professor zimmern's pedigree is too long to be given in a short time and may be read in who's who but in who's

important than the document itself in it noth ing is said about outlawing war war is not illegitimate and there is no definition of an aggressor the men who drew it up might have gone farther they took great risks but the risks were much less the day after they were signed than at the time of signing in 1918 there was great doubt if the various settlements would succeed and two fields of thought stood be tween versailles and locarno some thought the only way was to revise yet people offered no new so lution of revision others thought the destruction of the old methods the only way that in the words of brown ing the only way was to remold to shatter this thing entire and to remodel it to their heart's desire a popular solution was to take what they had and make the best of it as

their act in a separate capacity ratifying a separate proto cal that the world court was estab lished that moreover the league is incapable of removing the judges of the court or prescribing their rules of procedure or commanding an ad visory opinion that even the salary of the salaries of the judges are pro vided for in a budget district from that of the budget of the league and that in elections to the court the council and assembly so far from choosing directly choose only from a list of names submitted by the na tional groups of the hague court of arbitration whatever tenuous con nection however might remain de clared opler would be entirely sev ered by the reservations the negative case was argued with spirit and ability depending upon the propositions that the court so far from being american in principle has been so changed from its original plan designed by mr root as to form an integral part of the league of na tions with which it is inseparably bound that the court since it can deal with only technical not economic or political disputes is so fundament ally defective as to be useless that the public opinion in support of it is little else than the result of
